On Tuesday 29th November we are holding an EGM and are looking for some cool people to join our vibrant society. Due to the success of the society, and the workload of some committee members, we are looking to expand. We have roles in PRO - both a social media PRO along with a poster PRO (training WILL be provided).
Due to some restructuring in the committee we are also looking for a secretary.
This is a great opportunity to get involved in a society that is already on its feet and running successfully. It is this type of involvement that changes the college experience (for the better), while also getting your CV to the top of the pile when it comes to the big bad real world in a year or few!
So have a think about it, if you have any questions please ask one of the existing committee members, we are all tagged in the poster. There is no question too big or small, if one of us can't answer we'll pass it along to the person who can. Come join our team, we'd love to have you on board :) MU Geog Soc.
